Fine-Tuning the Sequence
To slide a shot:
1. Do one of the following to show the slide display:
 While in Source/Record mode, Shift+Alt+drag (Windows) or
Option+drag (Macintosh) a lasso from right to left around the mate-
rial you want to slide.
Yo u c a n u s e t h i s m e t h o d t o s l i d e m u l t i p l e c l i p s . T h i s i s u s e f u l , f o r e x a m -
ple, when you need to change the position of an entire montage.
 While in Trim mode (and only when the pointer becomes a trim roller),
Alt+double-click (Windows) or Option+double-click (Macintosh) a
segment of video or audio to select the frames that precede and follow
it, or Shift+click outside the opposite end of the clip you are trimming.
 Enter Trim mode at the head of the chosen segment. Right-click
that segment, and from the menu, select Slide.
The same four pictures appear that you saw in Slip mode. However,
in Slide mode, these pictures change as you drag because you are
trimming the outgoing and incoming frames before and after the seg-
ment. The middle two pictures, the first and last frames of the segment,
remain static and unchanged.
2. In the Timeline, drag one of the rollers left or right. (Although technically
it doesn’t matter, it’s often most helpful to drag the head roller.)
Dragging to the right moves the segment to a later master time-
code. Dragging to the left moves the selected segment to an earlier
master timecode.
3. Release the mouse button when you are satisfied with the change.
